To all whom it Hwy concern.-

Iie it known that I, JosEPH O. MoKnNzIn, acitizen of the United Statesof America, re-

Tables for'Iile and Brick Machines; and I do hereby declare the following'to be a full,- clear,

and exact description of the invention, such 1o. itappertains to make and use the same, referas will enable others skilled in the art to which vation of the table with hinged section raised and a portion of tile on the pallet-boardin an My invention has for its object to provide a H cutting tablc for tile and brick machines, es

pecially for screwn1a Y the tion of tile cut from the column of clay can be raised from a horizontal to a vertical position; and it consistsin the arrangement and combination of certainparts, which I will now proceed to describe.

Similar letters of reference indicate like parts.

i Referring to the drawings, A is the frame of thetable,mounted upon the wheelsB,which run on the track 0, said track being placed so that the end Owill be just under the mouth of the machine.

D are the horizontal rollers iipon which the column of clay rests as it is forced from the machine. i

y E E E E are adjustable supports for the side rollers or guides,I and are secured to the top of the frame ofthe table, and are adjustable bv means of agslot c and screw 6 to suit any size tile-pipe.

F are the upright siderollers or guides, se-

cured to said adj ustablo supports E.

j G. is the cutting-wire.

H is the movable section of the table,hinged at h h, and provided withhandles a a, and barc, and projections (1 cl for holding the pallet- Fig. 3 is a side eleoff from the column of clay.

(No model) board I in place, when the section H is in a horizontal position, and supporting it when section H is raised to a vertical position.

I is a removable pallet-board, upon which the tile rests when out off, and the section H is in an upright position.

K is the stationary section of the table, which receives the column of clay and supports it while the section II is raised. i

L is the mouth of the tile or brick machine.

M is a column of clay, andN aportion of tile cut oii' and raised to an upright position.

The operation of my table is as follows: The table is placed in position so that the receiving end is at the mouth of the machine. The machine is started and the column of clay passes out over the rollers D, and between the side roller or guides, F, until one end of said column reaches the pallet-board I. The out ting-wire is then dropped, and the portion of tile on the movable section of the table cut The table is then pushed forward away from the machine to the-end G of the track. The section H is raised to a vertical position, and the palletboard I removed with the tile resting, on it in an upright position. The section H is then dropped to a horizontal position, and the table pushed back to the machine, a new palletboard put in place, and the movable section is ready to receive another portion of tile.

Having thus fully described my invention, I claim- 1. Acutting table fora tile-machine,consisting, essentially,of a frame traveling upon a track, said frame being provided with a stationary section and ahinged section, all constructed and operating to the end that the table may be moved forward a limited distance, unloaded, and returned beneath the constantly progressing column of clay.
